I agree with this. Auburn is really and truly a second chance for Pearl. Petrino is already on his 3rd or 4th chance

Petrino would have busted a nut to come back to Auburn. If AU wanted Petrino, they could have had him 16 months ago after they fired Chiz.

Auburn was in dire straits last year after firing Chizik and Kirby Smart passed on them. Petrino was practically begging for the job and they told him to get lost.

Auburn fans know more than I do, but the word around here is that they gave him a courtesy conference call and he got chippy when they started after him about Harleygate and whether he'd changed, so they hung up. I also heard after that he was begging them for another chance and that he offered to fly himself and his wife to Auburn on their own dime to interview.
